TrendRising (falling over 24 hours)Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.Low(none)(none)

Heading up stream was rather easy but working against the wind and current. Headed under the bridge and made a right down Butler Creek. When the water is up Butler is accessible to 1.5 - 2 miles back and is very scenic.Heading up stream was rather easy but working against the wind and current.
